Halloween & Thanksgiving

Been a while since I updated my blogs. I’ve been busy, tired, and lazy. Hope everyone had a good Halloween and Thanksgiving.

For Halloween, we got a few pumpkins from base and had the children carve Jack o’ lanterns. They loved it. It was a big success.

For Thanksgiving, we went and ate our Turkey dinner at Sam’s Cafe just outside the gate at Camp Foster. They have a real live Turkey on display outside the cafe and serve authentic Thanksgiving dinner there. It is good because they don’t sell Turkey in Japanese supermarkets normally, and even if they did, they don’t have Japanese ovens big enough to cook one. It has kind of become a tradition of ours to go and eat there every year now. We have eaten there for Thanksgiving the last three years in a row now.

I am really looking forward to being home for the first time in five years. Can’t wait to be back in Eugene, Oregon. It has been so long. It is also the first time my wife and I will be there, so that is very exciting too. Hope to meet up with lot’s of old friends if they’re around for the holidays.
